Who we are

Experience you can see in the field

Since 2018 we have built fibre networks across British Columbia, from multi-unit residential buildings and new developments to national retail chains, major shopping centres and remote First Nations communities. We take on end-to-end fibre jobs for residential, commercial and high-rise buildings, with quick progress reporting. Our work also reaches beyond BC, with MXU upgrades in Edmonton and a hotel business TV install in Red Deer, Alberta.

23years in copper & fibre
Founder

Eddy Kim

EK was founded by Eddy Kim, a field technician with 23 years of hands-on experience in copper and fibre networks.

He has worked through the industry's shift from copper to fibre.

That experience lets our team troubleshoot and resolve in-unit service issues quickly, whether the problem sits on the copper side or the fibre side.
